Chapter 1. General Information
1.1Introduction
THE AW-A793 embedded control board based on Intel® architecture with
E7501+ICH3+P64H2 chipset supporting the Pentium® M processor with
400/533MHz FSB. The DDR 200/266 RAM (PC2100 registered) with ECC for
enhanced data integrity up to 8GB. It also integrates SafeXcel®-184x high
performance security co-processor onboard that designed for the VPN appliance
market and optimized for IPSec. The AW-A793 provides fourteen Ethernet ports
including eight GbE SFP pots, two GbE copper ports and four10/100BASE-T LAN
ports for multiple Ethernet port markets and performance requirements. SFP is a
new trend for networking application, the flexibility of GbE SFP port allow user to
choose either fiber or copper module according to their requirement.
Other features include a CompactFlash socket, right angle 64-bit PCI-X 100MHz
slot for future expansion capabilities, one IDE connector, two USB ports, two Serial
port, one Parallel port, digital I/O, watchdog timer and hardware system monitoring
for 1U chassis applications to give the customer a complete solution.
